@Collin Woodard howd it go? What was your experience?

Also really great advice guys, thank you

“The guy on the left” lmao does anyone even know his name? XD

He's Jeff Nichols.

That and at 10:00 he just mixes up ranger TABBED guys with actual rangers (ranger SCROLLED, or rather the 75th ranger regiment). Ranger SCROLLED guys are a tier2 unit and are very often indeed attached to tier1 units to fill in numbers, and they are form 3 batallions (1sr, 2nd and 3rd). They will NEVER pick ranger TABBED randoms from the army to fill in the numbers in such high speed / security clearance missions. When you finish ranger school you get a TAB, and ANY member of the army can apply to this. Besides the hunger and lack of sleep (not as bad as hell week obviously, but they never get more than 5hours over the 2 months), it is quite easy Now, When you finish RASP you get a SCROLL , and become part of a USASOC unit called the 75th Ranger Regiment and they will make you get your TAB within 2 or 3 years of graduating from RASP, as a traditionnal thing to do... When you are tabbed, you are not necessarily an operator or a RANGER for that matter. When you are scrolled, you are.

@@Innominat9 My go to argument now is, you have females passing ranger school now, no female has passed RASP 1 selection. That's all that needs to be said.

@@MeliorIlle Precisely! RASP can be considered as a shorter version of BUD/s ... Some might even say that the physical requirements are even higher... Not the mental ones of course. And after all RASP is 2 months long, not 6. But still easily harder than Ranger School.

I’m also training for 11x op 40, but it is my understanding that if you don’t get through rasp you go to infantry(being the 11x). Correct me if I’m wrong

@@DemocT 11x isn't actually an MOS. They will out you in either 11b or 11c depending on where they want you, but the majority of 11xers go to bravo.

Noah Stockstill Yes - you are correct

How'd it go?

Do more full speed, if you can only get 8 or 9 full speed then stop at that and get some rest and do some more at full speed. Also do weighted pullups different days. Last thing that helped me was learning how to do a muscle up and now I can do 7-10 of them and do 25 pullups, probably 20 chin ups. Get after it!

@@DirtForm yes muscles ups are amazingly of transferring that strength to pull ups

I believe you’re too old for an Op 40 contract, however 18x (Army SF) is a lot more lenient with age requirements. Most SF guys are early to mid 30s.

I graduated rasp with multiple 30 years olds. Our oldest guy in our class was 32. If you watch the nat geo video on rasp, the honor graduate was 34. It all depends on your physical fitness and focus completing the course

Evan Richards thanks bro! If you have any other advice please feel free to message me

@@sonnydaniels9903 Recommended pt standards 58 minimum/ 80 or more push ups advised 69 minimum/80 or more sit ups advised 40 minute 5 mile minimum/34 to 36 minute or faster 5 mile run 6 pull ups minimum/ 15 pull ups or more 12 miles in 3 hours minimum /2 hour 45 minute 12 mile ruck (and that's going a chill pace. I've seen guys average 12 minute mile pace and complete that ruck in 2 hours or less. If you're physical fitness isnt near that level, then I wouldn't even sign up. In regiment pt is your livelihood. Rangers dont want to meet standards, they want to exceed them. Definitely show up in shape and ready to rock, your body will thank you later on in the course. If you want specific advice on what to know or foot care or things like that, you can message me

Evan Richards thanks man! I’m currently working on running. I’m right at around 8 mins per mile. I’m fighting for a 7.5 to 7 min mile pace. I think running and the ruck March are my biggest concerns personally. I have never rucked but I bought a ruck sack to implement that in my workouts here soon. I’m worried about wearing my feet out. I’d definitely like some pointers on foot care!

Tyler Legare oops... good catch

Stew Smith stew I have always wanted to ask you if you could give me some information on building an obstacle course in my backyard

@@tylerlegare2668 I would do a search online - take pictures of obstacles you want and build them. Contract to build them. But I have never thought about building one on my own.
